Our team

About Tide Health and Performance

We bring medically-supervised GLP-1 care to the gyms, pharmacies and wellness centres where people already train, Nurse Practitioner-led, with medical oversight, strategy and fitness coaching behind it. Here is the team making that happen.

Rebecca Sytnyk, NP

Nurse Practitioner

Rebecca is a Primary Care Nurse Practitioner with experience across primary, acute and community care. She practises as a Primary Care Nurse Practitioner at Unity Health Toronto, provides Nurse Practitioner care with Cleveland Clinic Canada, and runs an aesthetic injectables practice, and she teaches as a Lecturer with the University of Toronto's Department of Family and Community Medicine.

At Tide Health and Performance, Rebecca leads the clinical program end to end, conducting each client's intake, determining when GLP-1 therapy is appropriate, prescribing and titrating treatment, and providing the ongoing monitoring that keeps care safe and personal, on clinic days and through the app between visits.

Diana Dzioba, MSc, NP

Nicole English, MD

Medical Director

Dr. English is a family physician with more than 20 years in clinical practice. She earned her MD and completed her residency at the University of Toronto and is certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada.

Her work spans women's health and mental health, and her care philosophy is simple: control what you can control. At Tide Health and Performance she provides medical governance and oversight for the Nurse Practitioner-led program.

Stacey Farber, CPT

Director of Corporate Development and Personal Training

Stacey is a CanFitPro Certified Personal Trainer whose relationship with fitness started in her teens and never let go, evolving from a passion for heavy lifting into a deep curiosity about how the body adapts to training and food, and rebuilds after being pushed to its limits.

She has tested that firsthand, coming back from a torn Achilles and a full hamstring avulsion and using emerging recovery tools to manage chronic inflammation. That blend of lived experience and relentless self-experimentation defines her coaching, which sits at the intersection of strength training, body recomposition and supporting clients navigating their journey on GLP-1 protocols.

Michael Kalchman, PhD

Scientific Director

Michael is a PhD scientist, whose academic research began in diseases of the brain, but his work today is shaped as much by lived experience as by the lab. A few years ago he was sedentary; today he trains for and races Half Ironman events, and he uses Mounjaro to manage his diabetes along the way.

That transformation reshaped how he thinks about health: the body is remarkably adaptable, and lasting change comes from working with our biology rather than against it. He writes and speaks on the intersection of GLP-1 therapies, fitness and training, translating complex science into clear, evidence-based guidance, with a particular focus on women's metabolic health. His goal is simple: cut through the noise and help people make informed, biologically grounded decisions about their health.
